Just Wanted To Spread This Twitter Thread Around As Much As Possible. It Frustrates Me To No End That

Marvel if you could stop giving me literal goddess to have crushes on that would great. I have so many fanfics already you keep adding more material and I am going to die before I can read it all which is a travesty.

I’D BE THE MAN

In many cultures, ethnic groups, and nations around the world, hair is considered a source of power and prestige. African people brought these traditions and beliefs to the Americas and passed them down through the generations.

In my mother’s family (Black Americans from rural South Carolina) the women don’t cut their hair off unless absolutely necessary (i.e damage or routine trimming). Long hair is considered a symbol of beauty and power; my mother often told me that our hair holds our strength and power. Though my mother’s family has been American born for several generations, it is fascinating to see the beliefs and traditions of our African ancestors passed down. We are emotionally and spiritually attached to our hair, cutting it only with the knowledge that we are starting completely clean and removing stagnant energy.

Couple this with the forced removal and covering of our hair from the times of slavery and onward, and you can see why so many Black women and men alike take such pride and care in their natural hair and love to adorn our heads with wigs, weaves, braids, twists, accessories, and sharp designs.

Hair is not just hair in African diaspora cultures, and this is why the appropriation and stigma surrounding our hair is so harmful.

Hear me out, ok?

It's raining outside

There is a fresh warm cup of >insert favourite warm beverage<

A book lies open on your lap as you peer from a window seat at beautiful mountains, pine trees, evergreens, and droplets of water.

You look up and the love of your life is laying in a blanket fort you two made previously, playing their favourite game.

They look up and smile at you and for a moment you forget you can't leave. In that moment, leaving doesn't even cross your mind.
